Maria Chingman I Love Hair Extensions, Hair Color, Women's hair Cuts. I have over eleven years in the beauty industry and love every minute.

Creating new looks to bring out the best in all my clients. My love is more then just coloring, highlighting, and creative cutting but also showing you how to embrace what you where born with!! Like naturally curly hair and how every curl has it own pace. Believe me it dose and I can show you that yes your hair might have a mind of its own but you can be in control with the right tools.

Day 6 of my 30-day yapping challenge.

Having one son in college and another about to turn one really changes the way you look at time.

I already know how fast these years go, and I think that’s why I’m so determined to figure this next chapter out.

I still love doing hair, but I’m also learning how to build something online, create another stream of income, and hopefully make more room for the life happening right in front of me.

I definitely don’t have it figured out yet. I’m learning, posting, probably overthinking some of it, and showing up anyway.

Because this time around, I know you don’t get the time back.

Day 6. Still yapping. Still figuring it out. And we’ll see where these 30 days take me.

After years of extensions, I finally went back to my curly roots.

Was it a smooth transition? Absolutely not. But apparently neither is having another baby 17 years later, changing the way I work, and trying to figure out who I am again at 41.

So why not change my hair while I’m at it?

I’m learning to love my natural curls again and slowly letting go of the extensions… although I make ZERO promises they won’t be back next month.

I guess this was the summer I started finding my way back to myself, curls and all.

Day 5 of my yapping challenge, done during Xavier’s nap today.

Having one son already grown and another about to turn one really makes you realize how fast time goes.

When I was younger, I was juggling building a career, making money, raising a family and eventually owning a business. A lot of times, family life had to fit wherever there was room.

This time around feels different.

Adam and I are older and more established. We know what we need, but more importantly, we know we can’t get the time back.

So this holiday season I’m planning differently. I’m putting the pumpkin patches, family days and little traditions I don’t want to miss on the calendar—and then planning work around them.

I still want to work, make money and take care of my clients. I just don’t want to build my whole life around work anymore.

Maybe that’s one of the things you learn as you get older: make room on the calendar for the life you’re working so hard for.

Day 5. Still showing up.

I have to say, I’m really loving this little suite life. Having my own space, being close to home, doing hair and just not carrying all the extra stress has been so nice.

Now if I could just remember to take my after pictures. I do great getting the before and then completely forget the after.

And yes, my husband washed my color out for me, which was pretty great.

I’m just having fun with this new season, doing what I love and being able to focus more on my family.

Day 4 of my yapping challenge 🎥

Still up north trying to wait out some of that Labor Day traffic, so Xavier and I stayed one more day while Adam and some of the family headed home.

Mom and I went into town, did a little shopping, found some Labor Day deals… and I picked up a steak thinking, “I can grill this.” 😂

Turns out I cannot.

I like my steak well done, but apparently I took that a little too literally. 🔥😂 Shoutout to Adam because clearly I’ve been taking his steak-grilling skills for granted.

But somewhere between grilling my steak and trying not to burn dinner, I realized something:

I don’t need to create a different life to make content. My life IS the content. I just have to start paying attention to it.

My videos aren’t getting a ton of engagement yet, but I’m only on Day 4.

I’m showing up anyway.

Come back on Day 30 and let’s see what happens. ❤️

Funny how your definition of success changes. 🤍

These days, I still have big dreams… I just want them to leave room for sunsets, family, and actually enjoying the life I’m building. 🥹🌅

Anyone else feeling this season of life?

Day 3 🤍

Baby talking in the background. Walking up north. Definitely not a perfectly planned video.

But I pressed record anyway.

And I think that might be what I’m learning most from this challenge…

You don’t have to be great at something before you start. You get better because you keep showing up.

Every time I press record, I’m learning.
Every time I edit a video, I’m learning.
Every time I actually hit POST instead of overthinking it… I’m learning. 😂

Life isn’t going to get perfectly quiet. I’m a mom. I work. I have a family. There will probably always be something going on in the background.

So I’m learning to stop waiting for perfect and just show up anyway.

30 days. One video every day. Let’s see how much can change. 🤍

If you’re trying to learn something new too, follow along. Maybe we can figure it out together.

Nothing crazy… just a little trim, fresh color and bringing these curls back to life. 😍✂️

And can we talk about her natural ginger hair?! So pretty. 🧡

After doing hair for 20+ years, I still love that I get to be creative, talk to some pretty amazing people and call this my job.

Curly girls… when was your last trim? 👀

🍂 Fall drink in a cute glass + curls going UP = officially in my fall mood.

If you’re a curly girl who loves wearing your hair up but still wants it to look cute… try this. 🙌

I’m using my Poppy Pins to create the easiest curly updo. Just grab a good section of curls, give it a little twist, open the pin, slide it straight down and let it do its thing. ✨

Cute. Easy. Curls off my neck. And it looks like I tried way harder than I actually did. 😂

Curly girls — are we wearing our curls DOWN this fall or are we officially in our updo era? 👇🍁

SAVE this for your next curly hair day!

Get ready with me… curly mom edition. 🤎

A little makeup, a quick curl refresh, my tiny helper making me smile in the background… and then the inevitable:

I need this hair UP. 😂

Anyone else in that season of life where you love your curls, but you also need them off your face and neck while still looking cute?

This curly updo only takes 5 bobby pins and a couple minutes. No perfection needed — actually, I think the messier curls make it better.

Save this and recreate it with me!

And tell me 👇
Are you a hair DOWN girl or a get-it-OFF-ME girl lately? 😂
